Talent and Training
It is undeniable that some successful people have certain talent, such as music genius or the sport gene. But we must admit those people also improve through long, hard training. The training helps them use the talent and improve their skills.
people who believe some people are born with certain talents for sport or music, and others are not. There are three pieces of evidence. The first one, some children could play piano when they were only 5 or 6 years old, and they didn’t attended any training courses. Moreover, some people feel exhausted when they do physical exercises, but others can maintain for a long time. In addition, many children or adults can’t swim, although they take part in swimming courses. While other people can swim just be taught one or two times. For instance, our university opens a swimming course, everyone must learn swimming and we also have an exam. Some of my classmates still can’t swim, then they have to find friends to practise with to represent the exam (?).
On the contrary, people suppose any child can become a good sportsman or musician through training. I still remember a story about an actor. When the actor was studying in university, he performed a program to the audience in university, a teacher who watched his performance said the actor didn’t have talent to perform. The actor felt depressed and he intended to forgive (?) his study, he considered for a long time and he made a decision: study harder than before. He bought some DVDs to learn the famous actors perform and practice every day. At present, he is a famous actor. Although some people don't have certain talents, they can learn and they can get training. Through hard study, they also can succeed.
Talent and training are the two important factors to become successful, we can’t emphasise only one of them. If we have certain talents, but we don’t know how to use them and we don't do any training, I believe the talent will disappear. Besides the two factors, there are some other respects can influence people who want to be a success, such as opportunity. In my view, the importance of talent and training is equal.
(-Really thoughtful and touching words you have here. A brilliant example of a fluent speaker and writer performing a script. And I completely agree with you; success can only be achieved by discovering a talent and training to improve it, until you are truly a master at it. They say that 200 hours of training will make you good at something, and more will make you master the subject. Amazing words.-)
